2013 Yamaha Kodiak 450

Affordable, rugged and most important… durable!

Legendary reliability and durability in a new affordable price. But don’t let the new price fool you. This 2013 Yamaha Kodial still has push button 4WD, fully automatic Ultramatic transmission and high and low range, wet brake and more!

Kodiaks are enomously popular in Canada. They are smaller and lighter than their bigger brother the Grizzly, but are just as capable and durable.

They also have an impressive list of features including a high-tech sealed wet brake out back, four-wheel independent suspension, 10.8 inches of ground clearance, On-Command push button drive with Diff Lock and Yamaha’s exclusive Ultramatic transmission. Did you know that Yamaha’s fully automatic Ultramatic transmission is one of the most reliable transmissions in the business! Mid-size or not, the Kodiak 450 is always ready to take on the big players.

2013 Yamaha Kodiak 450 Features and Benefits:

Excellent Power to Weight Ratio

Power is nothing if it comes with a bunch of additional weight. Considering the kodiak 450 is lighter than many of the competitors in this class and this bear’s power to weight ratio offers some hefty advantages over some of the bigger and bulkier ATVs. Less weight has an effect on everything from handling and acceleration to hill climbing and mud prowess.

On Command 4WD System

Push-button servo-controlled “On-Command” system allows you to switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD – all with the simple push of a dash mounted button. Real 4-wheel drive when you need it. With Diff-lock engaged, there’s no need to wait for one wheel to spin. You have traction to all 4 wheels, immediately. This puts you in total control… you decide when you need 4 wheel drive… the machine doesn’t decide for you.
